<h1>Adding a stand-alone filter to a report</h1>
<p>A stand-alone filter is a filter created as an independent MicroStrategy 
 object. Once a stand-alone filter has been created, you can add it to 
 a report. To compare stand-alone and embedded filters for reports, see 
 
<a HREF="WhatAreFilters.htm">About filters</a>.</p>
<h2>Prerequisites</h2>
<ul type="disc" class="whs1">
	
<li class=p><p>A filter must already exist in the MicroStrategy project 
 in which you are working.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>DHTML must be enabled. See 
<a HREF="DHTML-only_features_in_Web.htm">Enabling 
 DHTML in MicroStrategy Web</a>.</p></li>
</ul>
<h2>To add a stand-alone filter to a report</h2>
<ol type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>Open the report you are creating a filter for. From 
 the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Home</B></span> menu, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Design</B></span>.</p></li>
</ol>
<ol start="2" type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>If the Report Filter panel is not displayed above the 
 report, display it by clicking the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Filter</B></span> 
 icon <img src="images/reportfilter.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="18px" height="16px" border="0" class="img_whs3"> on the toolbar.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>From the left, select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>All 
 Objects</B></span> and navigate to the filter you want to add to the report.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Right-click the filter and select <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Add 
 to Report</B></span>. </p></li>
	<ul>
<li style="list-style: disc;" type=disc class=p><p>If DHTML is 
 disabled, select the filter and click <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Add 
 &gt;</B></span> to add it to the Report Filter panel.</p></li>
	</ul>
</ol>
<p class="whs4"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Note</B></span>: 
 If you added a prompted filter, the filter name is displayed when you 
 first add the filter to the report. Once the report has been executed, 
 and you return to edit the report, the filter's definition is displayed 
 rather than the filter name.</p>
<ol start="5" type="1" class="whs2">
	
<li class=p><p>If other filter qualifications have been added to the 
 report, you can determine the order that the qualifications are evaluated 
 by clicking the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Shift up</B></span> icon 
 next to a filter qualification.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>To run the report, click the <span style="font-weight: bold;"><B>Run 
 Report</B></span> icon <img src="images/runreport.gif" x-maintain-ratio="TRUE" width="19px" height="18px" border="0" class="img_whs5">.</p></li>
	
<li class=p><p>Save the report.</p></li>
</ol>
